About Karl


Bio

I am a Cornell University graduate and an admitted student to MIT Sloan’s deferred MBA program. I graduated cum laude with honors, earning over $50,000 in merit-based scholarships. While at Cornell, I served as a Teaching Assistant for two courses, supporting students academically through lectures, discussions, and one-on-one guidance. I was also a Resident Advisor, working closely with first-year students to support their academic and personal development in a mentorship role.

I am a Cornell University graduate and an admitted student to MIT Sloan’s deferred MBA program. I graduated cum laude with honors, earning over $50,000 in merit-based scholarships. While at Cornell, I served as a Teaching Assistant for two courses, supporting students academically through lectures, discussions, and one-on-one guidance. I was also a Resident Advisor, working closely with first-year students to support their academic and personal development in a mentorship role.

In addition to my college-level teaching experience, I have taught 5th grade students at an elementary school, which equipped me with the flexibility and patience to adapt content for younger learners and varied learning styles. I’ve also mentored high school students in Chicago public schools, particularly around academic skills and college admissions—from essay writing and personal statements to interview prep and application strategy.

My strengths are in English, writing, and college admissions advising, and I tailor each session to fit the student’s needs, goals, and learning style. I’m comfortable tutoring both virtually and in person, and I’m known for being highly responsive, reliable, and supportive. My goal is always to help students grow in confidence, clarity, and capability.

Approved Subjects

College Counseling

College Counseling

I specialize in college admissions and essay coaching, with experience mentoring four high school students through the full college application process, including personal statements, supplemental essays, and interview preparation. I have also tutored two additional high school students in academic writing and application support. My approach focuses on helping students craft authentic, compelling narratives that reflect their unique strengths and goals. With a background as a Cornell graduate and MIT Sloan admit, I bring firsthand insight into what top schools look for.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I have a strong background in communication, public speaking, and consulting, with coursework at Cornell including Persuasive Communication, Introduction to Communication, Business Communication, and Consulting Case Preparation. I am highly skilled in oral presentation, argument structuring, and audience engagement, and I bring real-world experience as the Hong Kong Bar Association Debate Champion. I’ve coached students in speech delivery, case interviews, and persuasive writing. My sessions are focused, practical, and tailored to help students communicate with clarity and confidence.
